BACKGROUND

Pests, plant diseases, and weeds can be serious threats to crops. Losses due to pests and diseases have been estimated at 37% of the agricultural production worldwide, with 13% due to insects, bacteria and other organisms.

Toxins are virulence determinants that play an important role in microbial pathogenicity and/or evasion of the host immune response. Toxins from the gram-positive bacterium Bacillus, particularly Bacillus thuringiensis, have been used as insecticidal proteins. Current strategies use the genes expressing these toxins to produce transgenic crops. Transgenic crops expressing insecticidal protein toxins are used to combat crop damage from insects.

While the use of Bacillus toxins has been successful in controlling insects, resistance to Bt toxins has developed in some target pests in many parts of the world where such toxins have been used intensively. One way of solving this problem is sowing Bt crops with alternating rows of regular non Bt crops (refuge). An alternative method to avoid or slow down development of insect resistance is stacking insecticidal genes with different modes of action against insects in transgenic plants. The current strategy of using transgenic crops expressing insecticidal protein toxins is placing increasing emphasis on the discovery of novel toxins, beyond those already derived from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis. These toxins may prove useful as alternatives to those derived from B. thuringiensis for deployment in insect- and pest-resistant transgenic plants. Thus, new toxin proteins are needed.

i. Classes of Pesticidal Proteins

The pesticidal proteins provided herein and the nucleotide sequences encoding them are useful in methods for impacting pests. That is, the compositions and methods of the invention find use in agriculture for controlling or killing pests, including pests of many crop plants. The pesticidal proteins provided herein are toxin proteins from bacteria and exhibit activity against certain pests. The pesticidal proteins are from several classes of toxins including Cry, Cyt, BIN, and Mtx toxins. See, for example, Table 1 for the specific protein classifications of the various SEQ ID NOS provided herein. In addition, reference is made throughout this disclosure to Pfam database entries. The Pfam database is a database of protein families, each represented by multiple sequence alignments and a profile hidden Markov model. Finn et al. (2014) Nucl. Acid Res. Database Issue 42:D222-D230.

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a gram-positive bacterium that produces insecticidal proteins as crystal inclusions during its sporulation phase of growth. The proteinaceous inclusions of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) are called crystal proteins or δ-endotoxins (or Cry proteins), which are toxic to members of the class Insecta and other invertebrates. Similarly, Cyt proteins are parasporal inclusion proteins from Bt that exhibits hemolytic (cytolytic) activity or has obvious sequence similarity to a known Cyt protein. These toxins are highly specific to their target organism, and are innocuous to humans, vertebrates, and plants.

The structure of the Cry toxins reveals five conserved amino acid blocks, concentrated mainly in the center of the domain or at the junction between the domains. The Cry toxin consists of three domains, each with a specific function. Domain I is a seven α-helix bundle in which a central helix is completely surrounded by six outer helices. This domain is implicated in channel formation in the membrane. Domain II appears as a triangular column of three anti-parallel β-sheets, which are similar to antigen-binding regions of immunoglobulins. Domain III contains anti-parallel β-strands in a β sandwich form. The N-terminal part of the toxin protein is responsible for its toxicity and specificity and contains five conserved regions. The C-terminal part is usually highly conserved and probably responsible for crystal formation. See, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 8,878,007.

Strains of B. thuringiensis show a wide range of specificity against different insect orders (Lepidoptera, Diptera, Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, Homoptera, Phthiraptera or Mallophaga, and Acari) and other invertebrates (Nemathelminthes, Platyhelminthes, and Sarocomastebrates). The Cry proteins have been classified into groups based on toxicity to various insect and invertebrate groups. Generally, Cry I demonstrates toxicity to lepidopterans, Cry II to lepidopterans and dipterans, CryIII to coleopterans, Cry IV to dipterans, and Cry V and Cry VI to nematodes. New Cry proteins can be identified and assigned to a Cry group based on amino acid identity. See, for example, Bravo, A. (1997) J. of Bacteriol. 179:2793-2801; Bravo et al. (2013) Microb. Biotechnol. 6:17-26, herein incorporated by reference.

Over 750 different cry gene sequences have been classified into 73 groups (Cry1-Cry73), with new members of this gene family continuing to be discovered (Crickmore et al. (2014) www.btnomenclature.info/). The cry gene family consists of several phylogentically non-related protein families that may have different modes of action: the family of three-domain Cry toxins, the family of mosquitocidal Cry toxins, the family of the binary-like toxins, and the Cyt family of toxins (Bravo et al., 2005). Some Bt strains produce additional insecticidal toxins, the VIP toxins. See, also, Cohen et al. (2011) J. Mol. Biol. 413:4-814; Crickmore et al. (2014) Bacillus thuringiensis toxin nomenclature, found on the world wide web at lifesci.sussex.ac.uk/home/Neil_Crickmore/Bt/; Crickmore et al. (1988) Microbiol. Mol. Biol.

Cyt designates a parasporal crystal inclusion protein from Bacillus thuringiensis with cytolytic activity, or a protein with sequence similarity to a known Cyt protein. (Crickmore et al. (1998) Microbiol. Mol. Biol. Rev. 62: 807-813). The gene is denoted by cyt. These proteins are different in structure and activity from Cry proteins (Gill et al. (1992) Annu. Rev. Entomol. 37: 615-636). The Cyt toxins were first discovered in B. thuringiensis subspecies israelensis (Goldberg et al. (1977) Mosq. News. 37: 355-358). There are 3 Cyt toxin families including 11 holotype toxins in the current nomenclature (Crickmore et al. (2014) Bacillus thuringiensis toxin nomenclature found on the world wide web at lifesci.sussex.ac.uk/home/Neil_Crickmore/Bt/). The majority of the B. thuringiensis isolates with cyt genes show activity against dipteran insects (particularly mosquitoes and black flies), but there are also cyt genes that have been described in B. thuringiensis strains targeting lepidopteran or coleopteran insects (Guerchicoff et al. (1997) Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 63: 2716-2721).

The structure of Cyt2A, solved by X-ray crystallography, shows a single domain where two outer layers of α-helix wrap around a mixed β-sheet. Further available crystal structures of Cyt toxins support a conserved α-β structural model with two α-helix hairpins flanking a β-sheet core containing seven to eight β-strands. (Cohen et al. (2011) J. Mol. Biol. 413: 80 4-814) Mutagenic studies identified β-sheet residues as critical for toxicity, while mutations in the helical domains did not affect toxicity (Adang et al.; Diversity of Bacillus thuringiensis Crystal Toxins and Mechanism of Action. In: T. S. Dhadialla and S. S. Gill, eds, Advances in Insect Physiology, Vol. 47, Oxford: Academic Press, 2014, pp. 39-87.) The representative domain of the Cyt toxin is a δ-endotoxin, Bac_thur_toxin (Pfam PF01338).

There are multiple proposed models for the mode of action of Cyt toxins, and it is still an area of active investigation. Some Cyt proteins (Cyt1A) have been shown to require the presence of accessory proteins for crystallization. Cyt1A and Cyt2A protoxins are processed by digestive proteases at the same sites in the N- and C-termini to a stable toxin core. Cyt toxins then interact with non-saturated membrane lipids, such as phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, and sphingomyelin. For Cyt toxins, pore-formation and detergent-like membrane disruption have been proposed as non-exclusive mechanisms; and it is generally accepted that both may occur depending on toxin concentration, with lower concentrations favoring oligomeric pores and higher concentrations leading to membrane breaks. (Butko (2003) Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 69: 2415-2422) In the pore-formation model, the Cyt toxin binds to the cell membrane, inducing the formation of cation-selective channels in the membrane vesicles leading to colloid-osmotic lysis of the cell. (Knowles et al. (1989) FEBS Lett. 244: 259-262; Knowles et al. (1992) Proc. R. Soc. Ser. B. 248: 1-7 and Promdonkoy et al. (2003) Biochem. J. 374: 255-259). In the detergent model, there is a nonspecific aggregation of the toxin on the surface of the lipid bilayer leading to membrane disassembly and cell death. (Butko (2003) supra; Manceva et al. (2005) Biochem. 44: 589-597).

Multiple studies have shown synergistic activity between Cyt toxins and other B. thuringiensis toxins, particularly the Cry, Bin, and Mtx toxins. This synergism has even been shown to overcome an insect's resistance to the other toxin. (Wirth 1997, Wirth 2005, Thiery 1998, Zhang 2006) The Cyt synergistic effect for Cry toxins is proposed to involve Cyt1A binding to domain II of Cry toxins in solution or on the membrane plane to promote formation of a Cry toxin pre-pore oligomer. Formation of this oligomer is independent of the Cyt oligomerization, binding or insertion. (Lailak 2013, Perez 2007, Lopez-Diaz 2013)

A number of pesticidal proteins unrelated to the Cry proteins are produced by some strains of B. thuringiensis and B. cereus during vegetative growth (Estruch et al. (1996) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 93:5389-5394; Warren et al. (1994) WO 94/21795). These vegetative insecticidal proteins, or Vips, do not form parasporal crystal proteins and are apparently secreted from the cell. The Vips are presently excluded from the Cry protein nomenclature because they are not crystal-forming proteins. The term VIP is a misnomer in the sense that some B. thuringiensis Cry proteins are also produced during vegetative growth as well as during the stationary and sporulation phases, most notably Cry3Aa. The location of the Vip genes in the B. thuringiensis genome has been reported to reside on large plasmids that also encode cry genes (Mesrati et al. (2005) FEMS Microbiol. Lett. 244(2):353-8). A web-site for the nomenclature of Bt toxins can be found on the world wide web at lifesci.sussex.ac.uk with the path “/home/Neil_Crickmore/Bt/” and at: “btnomenclature.info/”. See also, Schnepf et al. (1998) Microbiol. Mol. Biol. Rev. 62(3):775-806. Such references are herein incorporated by reference.

To date four categories of Vips have been identified. Some Vip genes form binary two-component protein complexes; an “A” component is usually the “active” portion, and a “B” component is usually the “binding” portion. (Pfam pfam.xfam.org/family/PF03495). The Vip1 and Vip4 proteins generally contain binary toxin B protein domains. Vip2 proteins generally contain binary toxin A protein domains.

The Vip1 and Vip2 proteins are the two components of a binary toxin that exhibits toxicity to coleopterans. Vip1Aa1 and Vip2Aa1 are very active against corn rootworms, particularly Diabrotica virgifera and Diabrotica longicornis (Han et al. (1999) Nat. Struct. Biol. 6:932-936; Warren G W (1997) “Vegetative insecticidal proteins: novel proteins for control of corn pests” In: Carozzi N B, Koziel M (eds) Advances in insect control, the role of transgenic plants; Taylor & Francis Ltd, London, pp 109-21). The membrane-binding 95 kDa Vip1 multimer provides a pathway for the 52 kDa Vip2 ADP-ribosylase to enter the cytoplasm of target western corn rootworm cells (Warren (1997) supra). The NAD-dependent ADP-ribosyltransferase Vip2 likely modifies monomeric actin at Arg177 to block polymerization, leading to loss of the actin cytoskeleton and eventual cell death due to the rapid subunit ex-change within actin filaments in vivo (Carlier M. F. (1990) Adv. Biophys. 26:51-73).

Like Cry toxins, activated Vip3A toxins are pore-forming proteins capable of making stable ion channels in the membrane (Lee et al. (2003) Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 69:4648-4657). Vip3 proteins are active against several major lepidopteran pests (Rang et al. (2005) Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 71(10):6276-6281; Bhalla et al. (2005) FEMS Microbiol. Lett. 243:467-472; Estruch et al. (1998) WO 9844137; Estruch et al. (1996) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 93:5389-5394; Selvapandiyan et al. (2001) Appl. Environ Microbiol. 67:5855-5858; Yu et al. (1997) Appl. Environ Microbiol. 63:532-536). Vip3A is active against Agrotis ipsilon, Spodoptera frugiperda, Spodoptera exigua, Heliothis virescens, and Helicoverpa zea (Warren et al. (1996) WO 96/10083; Estruch et al. (1996) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 93:5389-5394) Like Cry toxins, Vip3A proteins must be activated by proteases prior to recognition at the surface of the midgut epithelium of specific membrane proteins different from those recognized by Cry toxins.

The MTX family of toxin proteins is characterized by the presence of a conserved domain, ETX_MTX2 (pfam 03318). Members of this family share sequence homology with the mosquitocidal toxins Mtx2 and Mtx3 from Bacillus sphaericus, as well as with the epsilon toxin ETX from Clostridium perfringens (Cole et al. (2004) Nat. Struct. Mol. Biol. 11: 797-8; Thanabalu et al. (1996) Gene 170:85-9). The MTX-like proteins are structurally distinct from the three-domain Cry toxins, as they have an elongated and predominately β-sheet-based structure. However, similar to the three-domain toxins, the MTX-like proteins are thought to form pores in the membranes of target cells (Adang et al. (2014) supra). Unlike the three-domain Cry proteins, the MTX-like proteins are much smaller in length, ranging from 267 amino acids (Cry23) to 340 amino acids (Cry15A).

To date, only 15 proteins belonging to the family of MTX-like toxins have been assigned Cry names, making this a relatively small class compared to the three-domain Cry family (Crickmore et al. (2014) supra; Adang et al. (2014) supra). The members of the MTX-like toxin family include Cry15, Cry23, Cry33, Cry38, Cry45, Cry46, Cry51, Cry60A, Cry60B, and Cry64. This family exhibits a range of insecticidal activity, including activity against insect pests of the Lepidopteran and Coleopteran orders. Some members of this family may form binary partnerships with other proteins, which may or may not be required for insecticidal activity.

Cry15 is a 34 kDA protein that was identified in Bacillus thuringiensis serovar thompsoni HD542; it occurs naturally in a crystal together with an unrelated protein of approximately 40 kDa. The gene encoding Cry15 and its partner protein are arranged together in an operon. Cry15 alone has been shown to have activity against lepidopteran insect pests including Manduca sexta, Cydia pomonella, and Pieris rapae, with the presence of the 40 kDA protein having been shown to increase activity of Cry15 only against C. pomonella (Brown K. and Whiteley H. (1992) J. Bacteriol. 174:549-557; Naimov et al. (2008) Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 74:7145-7151). Further studies are needed to elucidate the function of the partner protein of Cry15. Similarly, Cry23 is a 29 kDA protein that has been shown to have activity against the coleopteran pests Tribolium castaneum and Popillia japonica together with its partner protein Cry37 (Donovan et al. (2000) U.S. Pat. No. 6,063,756).

New members of the MTX-like family are continuing to be identified. An ETX_MTX toxin gene was recently identified in the genome of Bacillus thuringiensis serovar tolworthi strain Na205-3. This strain was found to be toxic against the lepidpoteran pest Helicoverpa armigera, and it also contained homologs of Cry1, Cry11, Vip1, Vip2, and Vip3 (Palma et al. (2014) Genome Announc. 2(2): e00187-14. Published online Mar. 13, 2014 at doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00187-14; PMCID: PMC3953196). Because the MTX-like proteins have a unique domain structure relative to the three-domain Cry proteins, they are believed to possess a unique mode of action, thereby making them a valuable tool in insect control and the fight against insect resistance.

Bacterial cells produce large numbers of toxins with diverse specificity against host and non-host organisms. Large families of binary toxins have been identified in numerous bacterial families, including toxins that have activity against insect pests. (Poopathi and Abidha (2010) J. Physiol. Path. 1(3): 22-38). Lysinibacillus sphaericus (Ls), formerly Bacillus sphaericus, (Ahmed et al. (2007) Int. J. Syst. Evol. Microbiol. 57:1117-1125) is well-known as an insect biocontrol strain. Ls produces several insecticidal proteins, including the highly potent binary complex BinA/BinB. This binary complex forms a parasporal crystal in Ls cells and has strong and specific activity against dipteran insects, specifically mosquitos. In some areas, insect resistance to existing Ls mosquitocidal strains has been reported. The discovery of new binary toxins with different target specificity or the ability to overcome insect resistance is of significant interest.

The Ls binary insecticidal protein complex contains two major polypeptides, a 42 kDa polypeptide and a 51 kDa polypeptide, designated BinA and BinB, respectively (Ahmed et al. (2007) supra). The two polypeptides act synergistically to confer toxicity to their targets. Mode of action involves binding of the proteins to receptors in the larval midgut. In some cases, the proteins are modified by protease digestion in the larval gut to produce activated forms. The BinB component is thought to be involved in binding, while the BinA component confers toxicity (Nielsen-LeRoux et al. (2001) Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 67(11):5049-5054). When cloned and expressed separately, the BinA component is toxic to mosquito larvae, while the BinB component is not. However, co-administration of the proteins markedly increases toxicity (Nielsen-LeRoux et al. (2001) supra).

A small number of Bin protein homologs have been described from bacterial sources. Priest et al. (1997) Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 63(4):1195-1198 describe a hybridization effort to identify new Ls strains, although most of the genes they identified encoded proteins identical to the known BinA/BinB proteins. The BinA protein contains a defined conserved domain known as the Toxin 10 superfamily domain. This toxin domain was originally defined by its presence in BinA and BinB. The two proteins both have the domain, although the sequence similarity between BinA and BinB is limited in this region (<40%). The Cry49Aa protein, which also has insecticidal activity, also has this domain (described below).

The Cry48Aa/Cry49Aa binary toxin of Ls has the ability to kill Culex quinquefasciatus mosquito larvae. These proteins are in a protein structural class that has some similarity to the Cry protein complex of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), a well-known insecticidal protein family. The Cry34/Cry35 binary toxin of Bt is also known to kill insects, including Western corn rootworm, a significant pest of corn. Cry34, of which several variants have been identified, is a small (14 kDa) polypeptide, while Cry35 (also encoded by several variants) is a 44 kDa polypeptide. These proteins have some sequence homology with the BinA/BinB protein group and are thought to be evolutionarily related (Ellis et al. (2002) Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 68(3):1137-1145).

Provided herein are pesticidal proteins from these classes of toxins. The pesticidal proteins are classified by their structure, homology to known toxins and/or their pesticidal specificity.

By “pesticidal toxin” or “pesticidal protein” or “pesticidal polypeptide” is intended a toxin or protein or polypeptide that has activity against one or more pests, including, insects, fungi, nematodes, and the like such that the pest is killed or controlled.

An “isolated” or “purified” polypeptide or protein, or biologically active portion thereof, is substantially or essentially free from components that normally accompany or interact with the polypeptide or protein as found in its naturally occurring environment. Thus, an isolated or purified polypeptide or protein is substantially free of other cellular material, or culture medium when produced by recombinant techniques, or substantially free of chemical precursors or other chemicals when chemically synthesized. A protein that is substantially free of cellular material includes preparations of protein having less than about 30%, 20%, 10%, 5%, or 1% (by dry weight) of contaminating protein. When the protein of the invention or biologically active portion thereof is recombinantly produced, optimally culture medium represents less than about 30%, 20%, 10%, 5%, or 1% (by dry weight) of chemical precursors or non-protein-of-interest chemicals.

The term “fragment” refers to a portion of a polypeptide sequence of the invention. “Fragments” or “biologically active portions” include polypeptides comprising a sufficient number of contiguous amino acid residues to retain the biological activity, i.e., have pesticidal activity. Fragments of the pesticidal proteins include those that are shorter than the full-length sequences, either due to the use of an alternate downstream start site, or due to processing that produces a shorter protein having pesticidal activity. Processing may occur in the organism the protein is expressed in, or in the pest after ingestion of the protein. Examples of fragments of the proteins can be found in Table 1. A biologically active portion of a pesticidal protein can be a polypeptide that is, for example, 10, 25, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 or more amino acids in length of any one of SEQ ID NO:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, 148, 149, 150, 151, 152, 153, 154, 155, 156, 157, 158, 159, 160, 161, 162, 163, 164, 165, 166, 167, 168, 169, 170, 171, 172, 173, 174, 175, 176, 177, 178, 179, 180, 181, 182, 183, 184, 185, 186, 187, 188, 189, 190, 191, 192, 193, 194, 195, 196, 197, 198, 199, 200, 201, 202, 203, 204, 205, 206, 207, 208, 209, 210, 211, 212, 213, 214, 215, 216, 217, 218, 219, 220, 221, 222, 223, 224, 225, 226, 227, 228, 229, 230, 231, 232, 233, 234, 235, 236, 237, 238, 239, 240, 241, 242, 243, 244, 245, 246, 247, 248, 249, 250, 251, 252, 253, 254, 255, 256, 257, 258, 259, 260, 261, 262, 263, 264, 265, 266, 267, 268, 269, 270, 271, 272, 273, 274, 275, 276, 277, 278, 279, 280, 281, 282, 283, 284, 285, 286, 287, 288, 289, 290, 291, 292, 293, 294, 295, 296, 297, 298, 299, 300, 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306, 307, 308, 309, 310, 311, 312, 313, 314, 315, 316, 317, 318, 319, 320, 321, 322, 323, 324, 325, 326, 327, 328, 329, 330, 331, 332, 333, 334, 335, 336, 337, 338, 339, 340, 341, 342, 343, 344, 345, 346, 347, 348, 349, 350, 351, 352, 353, 354, 355, 356, 357, 358, 359, 360, 361, 362, 363, 364, 365, 366, 367, 368, 369, 370, 371, 372, 373, 374, 375, 376, 377, 378, 379, 380, 381, 382, 383, 384, 385, 386, 387, 388, 389, 390, 391, 392, 393, 394, 395, 396, 397, or 398. Such biologically active portions can be prepared by recombinant techniques and evaluated for pesticidal activity. As used here, a fragment comprises at least 8 contiguous amino acids of SEQ ID NOs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, 148, 149, 150, 151, 152, 153, 154, 155, 156, 157, 158, 159, 160, 161, 162, 163, 164, 165, 166, 167, 168, 169, 170, 171, 172, 173, 174, 175, 176, 177, 178, 179, 180, 181, 182, 183, 184, 185, 186, 187, 188, 189, 190, 191, 192, 193, 194, 195, 196, 197, 198, 199, 200, 201, 202, 203, 204, 205, 206, 207, 208, 209, 210, 211, 212, 213, 214, 215, 216, 217, 218, 219, 220, 221, 222, 223, 224, 225, 226, 227, 228, 229, 230, 231, 232, 233, 234, 235, 236, 237, 238, 239, 240, 241, 242, 243, 244, 245, 246, 247, 248, 249, 250, 251, 252, 253, 254, 255, 256, 257, 258, 259, 260, 261, 262, 263, 264, 265, 266, 267, 268, 269, 270, 271, 272, 273, 274, 275, 276, 277, 278, 279, 280, 281, 282, 283, 284, 285, 286, 287, 288, 289, 290, 291, 292, 293, 294, 295, 296, 297, 298, 299, 300, 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306, 307, 308, 309, 310, 311, 312, 313, 314, 315, 316, 317, 318, 319, 320, 321, 322, 323, 324, 325, 326, 327, 328, 329, 330, 331, 332, 333, 334, 335, 336, 337, 338, 339, 340, 341, 342, 343, 344, 345, 346, 347, 348, 349, 350, 351, 352, 353, 354, 355, 356, 357, 358, 359, 360, 361, 362, 363, 364, 365, 366, 367, 368, 369, 370, 371, 372, 373, 374, 375, 376, 377, 378, 379, 380, 381, 382, 383, 384, 385, 386, 387, 388, 389, 390, 391, 392, 393, 394, 395, 396, 397, or 398.

Bacterial genes, including those encoding the pesticidal proteins disclosed herein, quite often possess multiple methionine initiation codons in proximity to the start of the open reading frame. Often, translation initiation at one or more of these start codons will lead to generation of a functional protein. These start codons can include ATG codons. However, bacteria such as Bacillus sp. also recognize the codon GTG as a start codon, and proteins that initiate translation at GTG codons contain a methionine at the first amino acid. On rare occasions, translation in bacterial systems can initiate at a TTG codon, though in this event the TTG encodes a methionine. Furthermore, it is not often determined a priori which of these codons are used naturally in the bacterium. Thus, it is understood that use of one of the alternate methionine codons may also lead to generation of pesticidal proteins. These pesticidal proteins are encompassed in the present invention and may be used in the methods disclosed herein. It will be understood that, when expressed in plants, it will be necessary to alter the alternate start codon to ATG for proper translation.

In various embodiments the pesticidal proteins provided herein include amino acid sequences deduced from the full-length nucleotide sequences and amino acid sequences that are shorter than the full-length sequences due to the use of an alternate downstream start site. Thus, the nucleotide sequence of the invention and/or vectors, host cells, and plants comprising the nucleotide sequence of the invention (and methods of making and using the nucleotide sequence of the invention) may comprise a nucleotide sequence encoding an alternate start site.

It is recognized that modifications may be made to the pesticidal polypeptides provided herein creating variant proteins. Changes designed by man may be introduced through the application of site-directed mutagenesis techniques. Alternatively, native, as yet-unknown or as yet unidentified polynucleotides and/or polypeptides structurally and/or functionally-related to the sequences disclosed herein may also be identified that fall within the scope of the present invention. Conservative amino acid substitutions may be made in nonconserved regions that do not alter the function of the pesticidal proteins. Alternatively, modifications may be made that improve the activity of the toxin. Modification of Cry toxins by domain III swapping has resulted in some cases in hybrid toxins with improved toxicities against certain insect species. Thus, domain III swapping could be an effective strategy to improve toxicity of Cry toxins or to create novel hybrid toxins with toxicity against pests that show no susceptibility to the parental Cry toxins. Site-directed mutagenesis of domain II loop sequences may result in new toxins with increased insecticidal activity. Domain II loop regions are key binding regions of initial Cry toxins that are suitable targets for the mutagenesis and selection of Cry toxins with improved insecticidal properties. Domain I of the Cry toxin may be modified to introduce protease cleavage sites to improve activity against certain pests. Strategies for shuffling the three different domains among large numbers of cry genes and high throughput bioassay screening methods may provide novel Cry toxins with improved or novel toxicities.

As indicated, fragments and variants of the polypeptides disclosed herein will retain pesticidal activity. Pesticidal activity comprises the ability of the composition to achieve an observable effect diminishing the occurrence or an activity of the target pest, including for example, bringing about death of at least one pest, or a noticeable reduction in pest growth, feeding, or normal physiological development. Such decreases in numbers, pest growth, feeding or normal development can comprise any statistically significant decrease, including, for example a decrease of about 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 85%, 90%, 95% or greater. It is recognized that the pesticidal activity may be different or improved relative to the activity of the native protein, or it may be unchanged, so long as pesticidal activity is retained.

Recombinant or synthetic nucleic acids encoding the pesticidal polypeptides disclosed herein are also provided. Of particular interest are nucleic acid sequences that have been designed for expression in a plant of interest. That is, the nucleic acid sequence can be optimized for increased expression in a host plant. A pesticidal protein of the invention can be back-translated to produce a nucleic acid comprising codons optimized for expression in a particular host, for example, a crop plant. In another embodiment, the polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides provided herein may be optimized for increased expression in the transformed plant. That is, the polynucleotides can be synthesized using plant-preferred codons for improved expression. See, for example, Campbell and Gowri (1990) Plant Physiol. 92:1-11 for a discussion of host-preferred codon usage. Methods are available in the art for synthesizing plant-preferred genes. See, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,380,831, and 5,436,391, and Murray et al. (1989) Nucleic Acids Res. 17:477-498, herein incorporated by reference. Expression of such a coding sequence by the transformed plant (e.g., dicot or monocot) will result in the production of a pesticidal polypeptide and confer increased resistance in the plant to a pest. Recombinant and synthetic nucleic acid molecules encoding the pesticidal proteins of the invention do not include the naturally occurring bacterial sequence encoding the protein.

A “recombinant polynucleotide” or “recombinant nucleic acid” comprises a combination of two or more chemically linked nucleic acid segments which are not found directly joined in nature. By “directly joined” is intended the two nucleic acid segments are immediately adjacent and joined to one another by a chemical linkage. In specific embodiments, the recombinant polynucleotide comprises a polynucleotide of interest or a variant or fragment thereof such that an additional chemically linked nucleic acid segment is located either 5′, 3′ or internal to the polynucleotide of interest. Alternatively, the chemically-linked nucleic acid segment of the recombinant polynucleotide can be formed by deletion of a sequence. The additional chemically linked nucleic acid segment or the sequence deleted to join the linked nucleic acid segments can be of any length, including for example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20 or greater nucleotides. Various methods for making such recombinant polynucleotides include chemical synthesis or by the manipulation of isolated segments of polynucleotides by genetic engineering techniques. In specific embodiments, the recombinant polynucleotide can comprise a recombinant DNA sequence or a recombinant RNA sequence. A “fragment of a recombinant polynucleotide or nucleic acid” comprises at least one of a combination of two or more chemically linked amino acid segments which are not found directly joined in nature.

Fragments of a polynucleotide (RNA or DNA) may encode protein fragments that retain activity. In specific embodiments, a fragment of a recombinant polynucleotide or a recombinant polynucleotide construct comprises at least one junction of the two or more chemically linked or operably linked nucleic acid segments which are not found directly joined in nature. A fragment of a polynucleotide that encodes a biologically active portion of a polypeptide that retains pesticidal activity will encode at least 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 75, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 125, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 175, 180, contiguous amino acids, or up to the total number of amino acids present in a full-length polypeptide as set forth in SEQ ID NO:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, 148, 149, 150, 151, 152, 153, 154, 155, 156, 157, 158, 159, 160, 161, 162, 163, 164, 165, 166, 167, 168, 169, 170, 171, 172, 173, 174, 175, 176, 177, 178, 179, 180, 181, 182, 183, 184, 185, 186, 187, 188, 189, 190, 191, 192, 193, 194, 195, 196, 197, 198, 199, 200, 201, 202, 203, 204, 205, 206, 207, 208, 209, 210, 211, 212, 213, 214, 215, 216, 217, 218, 219, 220, 221, 222, 223, 224, 225, 226, 227, 228, 229, 230, 231, 232, 233, 234, 235, 236, 237, 238, 239, 240, 241, 242, 243, 244, 245, 246, 247, 248, 249, 250, 251, 252, 253, 254, 255, 256, 257, 258, 259, 260, 261, 262, 263, 264, 265, 266, 267, 268, 269, 270, 271, 272, 273, 274, 275, 276, 277, 278, 279, 280, 281, 282, 283, 284, 285, 286, 287, 288, 289, 290, 291, 292, 293, 294, 295, 296, 297, 298, 299, 300, 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306, 307, 308, 309, 310, 311, 312, 313, 314, 315, 316, 317, 318, 319, 320, 321, 322, 323, 324, 325, 326, 327, 328, 329, 330, 331, 332, 333, 334, 335, 336, 337, 338, 339, 340, 341, 342, 343, 344, 345, 346, 347, 348, 349, 350, 351, 352, 353, 354, 355, 356, 357, 358, 359, 360, 361, 362, 363, 364, 365, 366, 367, 368, 369, 370, 371, 372, 373, 374, 375, 376, 377, 378, 379, 380, 381, 382, 383, 384, 385, 386, 387, 388, 389, 390, 391, 392, 393, 394, 395, 396, 397, or 398. In specific embodiments, such polypeptide fragments are active fragments, and in still other embodiments, the polypeptide fragment comprises a recombinant polypeptide fragment. As used herein, a fragment of a recombinant polypeptide comprises at least one of a combination of two or more chemically linked amino acid segments which are not found directly joined in nature.

By “variants” is intended to mean substantially similar sequences. For polynucleotides, a variant comprises a deletion and/or addition of one or more nucleotides at one or more internal sites within the native polynucleotide and/or a substitution of one or more nucleotides at one or more sites in the native polynucleotide. As used herein, a “native” polynucleotide or polypeptide comprises a naturally occurring nucleotide sequence or amino acid sequence, respectively.

Variants of a particular polynucleotide of the invention (i.e., the reference polynucleotide) can also be evaluated by comparison of the percent sequence identity between the polypeptide encoded by a variant polynucleotide and the polypeptide encoded by the reference polynucleotide. Thus, for example, an isolated polynucleotide that encodes a polypeptide with a given percent sequence identity to the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, 148, 149, 150, 151, 152, 153, 154, 155, 156, 157, 158, 159, 160, 161, 162, 163, 164, 165, 166, 167, 168, 169, 170, 171, 172, 173, 174, 175, 176, 177, 178, 179, 180, 181, 182, 183, 184, 185, 186, 187, 188, 189, 190, 191, 192, 193, 194, 195, 196, 197, 198, 199, 200, 201, 202, 203, 204, 205, 206, 207, 208, 209, 210, 211, 212, 213, 214, 215, 216, 217, 218, 219, 220, 221, 222, 223, 224, 225, 226, 227, 228, 229, 230, 231, 232, 233, 234, 235, 236, 237, 238, 239, 240, 241, 242, 243, 244, 245, 246, 247, 248, 249, 250, 251, 252, 253, 254, 255, 256, 257, 258, 259, 260, 261, 262, 263, 264, 265, 266, 267, 268, 269, 270, 271, 272, 273, 274, 275, 276, 277, 278, 279, 280, 281, 282, 283, 284, 285, 286, 287, 288, 289, 290, 291, 292, 293, 294, 295, 296, 297, 298, 299, 300, 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306, 307, 308, 309, 310, 311, 312, 313, 314, 315, 316, 317, 318, 319, 320, 321, 322, 323, 324, 325, 326, 327, 328, 329, 330, 331, 332, 333, 334, 335, 336, 337, 338, 339, 340, 341, 342, 343, 344, 345, 346, 347, 348, 349, 350, 351, 352, 353, 354, 355, 356, 357, 358, 359, 360, 361, 362, 363, 364, 365, 366, 367, 368, 369, 370, 371, 372, 373, 374, 375, 376, 377, 378, 379, 380, 381, 382, 383, 384, 385, 386, 387, 388, 389, 390, 391, 392, 393, 394, 395, 396, 397, or 398 are disclosed.

Where any given pair of polynucleotides of the invention is evaluated by comparison of the percent sequence identity shared by the two polypeptides they encode, the percent sequence identity between the two encoded polypeptides is at least about 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or more sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, 148, 149, 150, 151, 152, 153, 154, 155, 156, 157, 158, 159, 160, 161, 162, 163, 164, 165, 166, 167, 168, 169, 170, 171, 172, 173, 174, 175, 176, 177, 178, 179, 180, 181, 182, 183, 184, 185, 186, 187, 188, 189, 190, 191, 192, 193, 194, 195, 196, 197, 198, 199, 200, 201, 202, 203, 204, 205, 206, 207, 208, 209, 210, 211, 212, 213, 214, 215, 216, 217, 218, 219, 220, 221, 222, 223, 224, 225, 226, 227, 228, 229, 230, 231, 232, 233, 234, 235, 236, 237, 238, 239, 240, 241, 242, 243, 244, 245, 246, 247, 248, 249, 250, 251, 252, 253, 254, 255, 256, 257, 258, 259, 260, 261, 262, 263, 264, 265, 266, 267, 268, 269, 270, 271, 272, 273, 274, 275, 276, 277, 278, 279, 280, 281, 282, 283, 284, 285, 286, 287, 288, 289, 290, 291, 292, 293, 294, 295, 296, 297, 298, 299, 300, 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306, 307, 308, 309, 310, 311, 312, 313, 314, 315, 316, 317, 318, 319, 320, 321, 322, 323, 324, 325, 326, 327, 328, 329, 330, 331, 332, 333, 334, 335, 336, 337, 338, 339, 340, 341, 342, 343, 344, 345, 346, 347, 348, 349, 350, 351, 352, 353, 354, 355, 356, 357, 358, 359, 360, 361, 362, 363, 364, 365, 366, 367, 368, 369, 370, 371, 372, 373, 374, 375, 376, 377, 378, 379, 380, 381, 382, 383, 384, 385, 386, 387, 388, 389, 390, 391, 392, 393, 394, 395, 396, 397, or 398. In other embodiments, the variant of the polynucleotide provided herein differs from the native sequence by at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 or more nucleotides.

Variant polynucleotide and proteins also encompass sequences and proteins derived from a mutagenic and recombinogenic procedure such as DNA shuffling. With such a procedure, one or more different pesticidal protein disclosed herein (SEQ ID NO: 1-209) is manipulated to create a new pesticidal protein possessing the desired properties. In this manner, libraries of recombinant polynucleotides are generated from a population of related sequence polynucleotides comprising sequence regions that have substantial sequence identity and can be homologously recombined in vitro or in vivo. For example, using this approach, sequence motifs encoding a domain of interest may be shuffled between the pesticidal sequences provided herein and other known pesticidal genes to obtain a new gene coding for a protein with an improved property of interest, such as an increased K_(m) in the case of an enzyme. Strategies for such DNA shuffling are known in the art. See, for example, Stemmer (1994) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 91:10747-10751; Stemmer (1994) Nature 370:389-391; Crameri et al. (1997) Nature Biotech. 15:436-438; Moore et al. (1997) J. Mol. Biol. 272:336-347; Zhang et al. (1997) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 94:4504-4509; Crameri et al. (1998) Nature 391:288-291; and U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,605,793 and 5,837,458. A “shuffled” nucleic acid is a nucleic acid produced by a shuffling procedure such as any shuffling procedure set forth herein. Shuffled nucleic acids are produced by recombining (physically or virtually) two or more nucleic acids (or character strings), for example in an artificial, and optionally recursive, fashion. Generally, one or more screening steps are used in shuffling processes to identify nucleic acids of interest; this screening step can be performed before or after any recombination step. In some (but not all) shuffling embodiments, it is desirable to perform multiple rounds of recombination prior to selection to increase the diversity of the pool to be screened. The overall process of recombination and selection are optionally repeated recursively. Depending on context, shuffling can refer to an overall process of recombination and selection, or, alternately, can simply refer to the recombinational portions of the overall process.

In one embodiment, a method of obtaining a polynucleotide that encodes an improved polypeptide comprising pesticidal activity is provided, wherein the improved polypeptide has at least one improved property over any one of SEQ ID NOS: 1-229. Such methods can comprise (a) recombining a plurality of parental polynucleotides to produce a library of recombinant polynucleotides encoding recombinant pesticidal polypeptides; (b) screening the library to identify a recombinant polynucleotide that encodes an improved recombinant pesticidal polypeptide that has an enhanced property improved over the parental polynucleotide; (c) recovering the recombinant polynucleotide that encodes the improved recombinant pesticidal polypeptide identified in (b); and, (d) repeating steps (a), (b) and (c) using the recombinant polynucleotide recovered in step (c) as one of the plurality of parental polynucleotides in repeated step (a).

iii. Sequence Comparisons

As used herein, the term “identity” or “percent identity” when used with respect to a particular pair of aligned amino acid sequences, refers to the percent amino acid sequence identity that is obtained by counting the number of identical matches in the alignment and dividing such number of identical matches by the length of the aligned sequences. As used herein, the term “similarity” or “percent similarity” when used with respect to a particular pair of aligned amino acid sequences, refers to the sum of the scores that are obtained from a scoring matrix for each amino acid pair in the alignment divided by the length of the aligned sequences.

Unless otherwise stated, identity and similarity will be calculated by the Needleman-Wunsch global alignment and scoring algorithms (Needleman and Wunsch (1970) J. Mol. Biol. 48(3):443-453) as implemented by the “needle” program, distributed as part of the EMBOSS software package (Rice, P. Longden, I. and Bleasby, A., EMBOSS: The European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite, 2000, Trends in Genetics 16, (6) pp 276-2T7, versions 6.3.1 available from EMBnet at embnet.org/resource/emboss and emboss.sourceforge.net, among other sources) using default gap penalties and scoring matrices (EBLOSUM62 for protein and EDNAFULL for DNA). Equivalent programs may also be used. By “equivalent program” is intended any sequence comparison program that, for any two sequences in question, generates an alignment having identical nucleotide residue matches and an identical percent sequence identity when compared to the corresponding alignment generated by needle from EMBOSS version 6.3.1.

Additional mathematical algorithms are known in the art and can be utilized for the comparison of two sequences. See, for example, the algorithm of Karlin and Altschul (1990) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87:2264, modified as in Karlin and Altschul (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:5873-5877. Such an algorithm is incorporated into the BLAST programs of Altschul et al. (1990) J. Mol. Biol. 215:403. BLAST nucleotide searches can be performed with the BLASTN program (nucleotide query searched against nucleotide sequences) to obtain nucleotide sequences homologous to pesticidal-like nucleic acid molecules of the invention, or with the BLASTX program (translated nucleotide query searched against protein sequences) to obtain protein sequences homologous to pesticidal nucleic acid molecules of the invention. BLAST protein searches can be performed with the BLASTP program (protein query searched against protein sequences) to obtain amino acid sequences homologous to pesticidal protein molecules of the invention, or with the TBLASTN program (protein query searched against translated nucleotide sequences) to obtain nucleotide sequences homologous to pesticidal protein molecules of the invention. To obtain gapped alignments for comparison purposes, Gapped BLAST (in BLAST 2.0) can be utilized as described in Altschul et al. (1997) Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3389. Alternatively, PSI-Blast can be used to perform an iterated search that detects distant relationships between molecules. See Altschul et al. (1997) supra. When utilizing BLAST, Gapped BLAST, and PSI-Blast programs, the default parameters of the respective programs (e.g., BLASTX and BLASTN) can be used. Alignment may also be performed manually by inspection.

Two sequences are “optimally aligned” when they are aligned for similarity scoring using a defined amino acid substitution matrix (e.g., BLOSUM62), gap existence penalty and gap extension penalty so as to arrive at the highest score possible for that pair of sequences. Amino acid substitution matrices and their use in quantifying the similarity between two sequences are well-known in the art and described, e.g., in Dayhoff et al. (1978) “A model of evolutionary change in proteins.” In “Atlas of Protein Sequence and Structure,” Vol. 5, Suppl. 3 (ed. M. O. Dayhoff), pp. 345-352. Natl. Biomed. Res. Found., Washington, D.C. and Henikoff et al. (1992) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 89:10915-10919. The BLOSUM62 matrix is often used as a default scoring substitution matrix in sequence alignment protocols. The gap existence penalty is imposed for the introduction of a single amino acid gap in one of the aligned sequences, and the gap extension penalty is imposed for each additional empty amino acid position inserted into an already opened gap. The alignment is defined by the amino acids positions of each sequence at which the alignment begins and ends, and optionally by the insertion of a gap or multiple gaps in one or both sequences, so as to arrive at the highest possible score. While optimal alignment and scoring can be accomplished manually, the process is facilitated by the use of a computer-implemented alignment algorithm, e.g., gapped BLAST 2.0, described in Altschul et al. (1997) Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3389-3402, and made available to the public at the National Center for Biotechnology Information Website (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). Optimal alignments, including multiple alignments, can be prepared using, e.g., PSI-BLAST, available through www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov and described by Altschul et al. (1997) Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3389-3402.

With respect to an amino acid sequence that is optimally aligned with a reference sequence, an amino acid residue “corresponds to” the position in the reference sequence with which the residue is paired in the alignment. The “position” is denoted by a number that sequentially identifies each amino acid in the reference sequence based on its position relative to the N-terminus. For example, in SEQ ID NO: 177 position 1 is M, position 2 is N, position 3 is E, etc. When a test sequence is optimally aligned with SEQ ID NO: 177, a residue in the test sequence that aligns with the E at position 3 is said to “correspond to position 3” of SEQ ID NO: 177. Owing to deletions, insertion, truncations, fusions, etc., that must be taken into account when determining an optimal alignment, in general the amino acid residue number in a test sequence as determined by simply counting from the N-terminal will not necessarily be the same as the number of its corresponding position in the reference sequence. For example, in a case where there is a deletion in an aligned test sequence, there will be no amino acid that corresponds to a position in the reference sequence at the site of deletion. Where there is an insertion in an aligned reference sequence, that insertion will not correspond to any amino acid position in the reference sequence. In the case of truncations or fusions there can be stretches of amino acids in either the reference or aligned sequence that do not correspond to any amino acid in the corresponding sequence.

iv. Antibodies

Antibodies to the polypeptides of the present invention, or to variants or fragments thereof, are also encompassed.

Bioassays may be performed as described in Czapla and Lang (1990) J. Econ. Entomol. 83 (6): 2480-2485. See, also the experimental section herein.

III. Expression Cassettes

Polynucleotides encoding the pesticidal proteins provided herein can be provided in expression cassettes for expression in an organism of interest. The cassette will include 5′ and 3′ regulatory sequences operably linked to a polynucleotide encoding a pesticidal polypeptide provided herein that allows for expression of the polynucleotide. The cassette may additionally contain at least one additional gene or genetic element to be cotransformed into the organism. Where additional genes or elements are included, the components are operably linked. Alternatively, the additional gene(s) or element(s) can be provided on multiple expression cassettes. Such an expression cassette is provided with a plurality of restriction sites and/or recombination sites for insertion of the polynucleotides to be under the transcriptional regulation of the regulatory regions. The expression cassette may additionally contain a selectable marker gene.

The expression cassette will include in the 5′-3′ direction of transcription, a transcriptional and translational initiation region (i.e., a promoter), a pesticidal polynucleotide of the invention, and a transcriptional and translational termination region (i.e., termination region) functional in the organism of interest, i.e., a plant or bacteria. The promoters of the invention are capable of directing or driving expression of a coding sequence in a host cell. The regulatory regions (i.e., promoters, transcriptional regulatory regions, and translational termination regions) may be endogenous or heterologous to the host cell or to each other. As used herein, “heterologous” in reference to a sequence is a sequence that originates from a foreign species, or, if from the same species, is substantially modified from its native form in composition and/or genomic locus by deliberate human intervention. As used herein, a chimeric gene comprises a coding sequence operably linked to a transcription initiation region that is heterologous to the coding sequence.

Convenient termination regions are available from the Ti-plasmid of A. tumefaciens, such as the octopine synthase and nopaline synthase termination regions. See also Guerineau et al. (1991) Mol. Gen. Genet. 262:141-144; Proudfoot (1991) Cell 64:671-674; Sanfacon et al. (1991) Genes Dev. 5:141-149; Mogen et al. (1990) Plant Cell 2:1261-1272; Munroe et al. (1990) Gene 91:151-158; Ballas et al. (1989) Nucleic Acids Res. 17:7891-7903; and Joshi et al. (1987) Nucleic Acids Res. 15:9627-9639.

Additional regulatory signals include, but are not limited to, transcriptional initiation start sites, operators, activators, enhancers, other regulatory elements, ribosomal binding sites, an initiation codon, termination signals, and the like. See, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,039,523 and 4,853,331; EPO 0480762A2; Sambrook et al. (1992) Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, ed. Maniatis et al. (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.), hereinafter “Sambrook 11”; Davis et al., eds. (1980) Advanced Bacterial Genetics (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press), Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., and the references cited therein.

In preparing the expression cassette, the various DNA fragments may be manipulated, so as to provide for the DNA sequences in the proper orientation and, as appropriate, in the proper reading frame. Toward this end, adapters or linkers may be employed to join the DNA fragments or other manipulations may be involved to provide for convenient restriction sites, removal of superfluous DNA, removal of restriction sites, or the like. For this purpose, in vitro mutagenesis, primer repair, restriction, annealing, resubstitutions, e.g., transitions and transversions, may be involved.

A number of promoters can be used in the practice of the invention. The promoters can be selected based on the desired outcome. The nucleic acids can be combined with constitutive, inducible, tissue-preferred, or other promoters for expression in the organism of interest. See, for example, promoters set forth in WO 99/43838 and in U.S. Pat. Nos. 8,575,425; 7,790,846; 8,147,856; 8,586832; 7,772,369; 7,534,939; 6,072,050; 5,659,026; 5,608,149; 5,608,144; 5,604,121; 5,569,597; 5,466,785; 5,399,680; 5,268,463; 5,608,142; and 6,177,611; herein incorporated by reference.

Genet. 81:581-588); MAS (Velten et al. (1984) EMBO J. 3:2723-2730). Inducible promoters include those that drive expression of pathogenesis-related proteins (PR proteins), which are induced following infection by a pathogen. See, for example, Redolfi et al. (1983) Neth. J. Plant Pathol. 89:245-254; Uknes et al. (1992) Plant Cell 4:645-656; and Van Loon (1985) Plant Mol. Virol. 4:111-116; and WO 99/43819, herein incorporated by reference.

For expression in a bacterial host, promoters that function in bacteria are well-known in the art. Such promoters include any of the known crystal protein gene promoters, including the promoters of any of the pesticidal proteins of the invention, and promoters specific for B. thuringiensis sigma factors. Alternatively, mutagenized or recombinant crystal protein-encoding gene promoters may be recombinantly engineered and used to promote expression of the novel gene segments disclosed herein.

The expression cassette can also comprise a selectable marker gene for the selection of transformed cells. Selectable marker genes are utilized for the selection of transformed cells or tissues. Marker genes include genes encoding antibiotic resistance, such as those encoding neomycin phosphotransferase II (NEO) and hygromycin phosphotransferase (HPT), as well as genes conferring resistance to herbicidal compounds, such as glufosinate ammonium, bromoxynil, imidazolinones, and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate (2,4-D). Additional selectable markers are known and any can be used in the practice of the invention. See, for example, PCT/US2015/066648, filed on Dec. 18, 2015, herein incorporated by reference in its entirety, which discloses glufosinate resistance sequences that can be employed as selectable markers.

IV. Methods, Host Cells and Plant Cells

As indicated, DNA constructs comprising nucleotide sequences encoding the pesticidal proteins or active variants or fragment thereof can be used to transform plants of interest or other organisms of interest. Methods for transformation involve introducing a nucleotide construct into a plant. By “introducing” is intended to introduce the nucleotide construct to the plant or other host cell in such a manner that the construct gains access to the interior of a cell of the plant or host cell. The methods of the invention do not require a particular method for introducing a nucleotide construct to a plant or host cell, only that the nucleotide construct gains access to the interior of at least one cell of the plant or the host organism. Methods for introducing nucleotide constructs into plants and other host cells are known in the art including, but not limited to, stable transformation methods, transient transformation methods, and virus-mediated methods.

The methods result in a transformed organisms, such as a plant, including whole plants, as well as plant organs (e.g., leaves, stems, roots, etc.), seeds, plant cells, propagules, embryos and progeny of the same. Plant cells can be differentiated or undifferentiated (e.g. callus, suspension culture cells, protoplasts, leaf cells, root cells, phloem cells, pollen).

“Transgenic plants” or “transformed plants” or “stably transformed” plants or cells or tissues refers to plants that have incorporated or integrated a polynucleotide encoding at least one pesticidal polypeptide of the invention. It is recognized that other exogenous or endogenous nucleic acid sequences or DNA fragments may also be incorporated into the plant cell. Agrobacterium- and biolistic-mediated transformation remain the two predominantly employed approaches. However, transformation may be performed by infection, transfection, microinjection, electroporation, microprojection, biolistics or particle bombardment, electroporation, silica/carbon fibers, ultrasound mediated, PEG mediated, calcium phosphate co-precipitation, polycation DMSO technique, DEAE dextran procedure, Agro and viral mediated (Caulimoriviruses, Geminiviruses, RNA plant viruses), liposome mediated and the like.

Transformation protocols as well as protocols for introducing polypeptides or polynucleotide sequences into plants may vary depending on the type of plant or plant cell, i.e., monocot or dicot, targeted for transformation. Methods for transformation are known in the art and include those set forth in U.S. Pat. Nos. 8,575,425; 7,692,068; 8,802,934; 7,541,517; each of which is herein incorporated by reference. See, also, Rakoczy-Trojanowska, M. (2002) Cell Mol Biol Lett. 7:849-858; Jones et al. (2005) Plant Methods 1:5; Rivera et al. (2012) Physics of Life Reviews 9:308-345; Bartlett et al. (2008) Plant Methods 4:1-12; Bates, G. W. (1999) Methods in Molecular Biology 111:359-366; Binns and Thomashow (1988) Annual Reviews in Microbiology 42:575-606; Christou, P. (1992) The Plant Journal 2:275-281; Christou, P. (1995) Euphytica 85:13-27; Tzfira et al. (2004) TRENDS in Genetics 20:375-383; Yao et al.

Transformation may result in stable or transient incorporation of the nucleic acid into the cell. “Stable transformation” is intended to mean that the nucleotide construct introduced into a host cell integrates into the genome of the host cell and is capable of being inherited by the progeny thereof. “Transient transformation” is intended to mean that a polynucleotide is introduced into the host cell and does not integrate into the genome of the host cell.

Methods for transformation of chloroplasts are known in the art. See, for example, Svab et al. (1990) Proc. Nail. Acad. Sci. USA 87:8526-8530; Svab and Maliga (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:913-917; Svab and Maliga (1993) EMBO J. 12:601-606. The method relies on particle gun delivery of DNA containing a selectable marker and targeting of the DNA to the plastid genome through homologous recombination. Additionally, plastid transformation can be accomplished by transactivation of a silent plastid-borne transgene by tissue-preferred expression of a nuclear-encoded and plastid-directed RNA polymerase. Such a system has been reported in McBride et al. (1994) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 91:7301-7305.

The cells that have been transformed may be grown into plants in accordance with conventional ways. See, for example, McCormick et al. (1986) Plant Cell Reports 5:81-84. These plants may then be grown, and either pollinated with the same transformed strain or different strains, and the resulting hybrid having constitutive expression of the desired phenotypic characteristic identified. Two or more generations may be grown to ensure that expression of the desired phenotypic characteristic is stably maintained and inherited and then seeds harvested to ensure expression of the desired phenotypic characteristic has been achieved. In this manner, the present invention provides transformed seed (also referred to as “transgenic seed”) having a nucleotide construct of the invention, for example, an expression cassette of the invention, stably incorporated into their genome.

In specific embodiments, the sequences provide herein can be targeted to specific sites within the genome of the host cell or plant cell. Such methods include, but are not limited to, meganucleases designed against the plant genomic sequence of interest (D'Halluin et al. 2013 Plant Biotechnol J); CRISPR-Cas9, TALENs, and other technologies for precise editing of genomes (Feng, et al. Cell Research 23:1229-1232, 2013, Podevin, et al. Trends Biotechnology, online publication, 2013, Wei et al., J Gen Genomics, 2013, Zhang et al (2013) WO 2013/026740); Cre-lox site-specific recombination (Dale et al. (1995) Plant J 7:649-659; Lyznik, et al. (2007) Transgenic Plant J 1:1-9; FLP-FRT recombination (Li et al. (2009) Plant Physiol 151:1087-1095); Bxb1-mediated integration (Yau et al. Plant J (2011) 701:147-166); zinc-finger mediated integration (Wright et al. (2005) Plant J 44:693-705); Cal et al. (2009) Plant Mol Biol 69:699-709); and homologous recombination (Lieberman-Lazarovich and Levy (2011) Methods Mol Biol 701: 51-65); Puchta (2002) Plant Mol Biol 48:173-182).

The sequence provided herein may be used for transformation of any plant species, including, but not limited to, monocots and dicots. Examples of plants of interest include, but are not limited to, corn (maize), sorghum, wheat, sunflower, tomato, crucifers, peppers, potato, cotton, rice, soybean, sugarbeet, sugarcane, tobacco, barley, and oilseed rape, Brassica sp., alfalfa, rye, millet, safflower, peanuts, sweet potato, cassaya, coffee, coconut, pineapple, citrus trees, cocoa, tea, banana, avocado, fig, guava, mango, olive, papaya, cashew, macadamia, almond, oats, vegetables, ornamentals, and conifers.

Vegetables include, but are not limited to, tomatoes, lettuce, green beans, lima beans, peas, and members of the genus Curcumis such as cucumber, cantaloupe, and musk melon. Ornamentals include, but are not limited to, azalea, hydrangea, hibiscus, roses, tulips, daffodils, petunias, carnation, poinsettia, and chrysanthemum. Preferably, plants of the present invention are crop plants (for example, maize, sorghum, wheat, sunflower, tomato, crucifers, peppers, potato, cotton, rice, soybean, sugarbeet, sugarcane, tobacco, barley, oilseed rape, etc.).

As used herein, the term plant includes plant cells, plant protoplasts, plant cell tissue cultures from which plants can be regenerated, plant calli, plant clumps, and plant cells that are intact in plants or parts of plants such as embryos, pollen, ovules, seeds, leaves, flowers, branches, fruit, kernels, ears, cobs, husks, stalks, roots, root tips, anthers, and the like. Grain is intended to mean the mature seed produced by commercial growers for purposes other than growing or reproducing the species. Progeny, variants, and mutants of the regenerated plants are also included within the scope of the invention, provided that these parts comprise the introduced polynucleotides. Further provided is a processed plant product or byproduct that retains the sequences disclosed herein, including for example, soymeal.

In another embodiment, the genes encoding the pesticidal proteins can be used to transform insect pathogenic organisms. Such organisms include baculoviruses, fungi, protozoa, bacteria, and nematodes. Microorganism hosts that are known to occupy the “phytosphere” (phylloplane, phyllosphere, rhizosphere, and/or rhizoplana) of one or more crops of interest may be selected. These microorganisms are selected so as to be capable of successfully competing in the particular environment with the wild-type microorganisms, provide for stable maintenance and expression of the gene expressing the pesticidal protein, and desirably, provide for improved protection of the pesticide from environmental degradation and inactivation.

Such microorganisms include archaea, bacteria, algae, and fungi. Of particular interest are microorganisms such as bacteria, e.g., Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Erwinia, Serratia, Klebsiella, Xanthomonas, Streptomyces, Rhizobium, Rhodopseudomonas, Methylius, Agrobacterium, Acetobacter, Lactobacillus, Arthrobacter, Azotobacter, Leuconostoc, and Alcaligenes. Fungi include yeast, e.g., Saccharomyces, Cryptococcus, Kluyveromyces, Sporobolomyces, Rhodotorula, and Aureobasidium. Of particular interest are such phytosphere bacterial species as Pseudomonas syringae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Serratia marcescens, Acetobacter xylinum, Agrobacteria, Rhodopseudomonas spheroides, Xanthomonas campestris, Rhizobium melioti, Alcaligenes entrophus, Clavibacter xyli and Azotobacter vinlandir and phytosphere yeast species such as Rhodotorula rubra, R. glutinis, R. marina, R. aurantiaca, Cryptococcus albidus, C. diffluens, C. laurentii, Saccharomyces rosei, S. pretoriensis, S. cerevisiae, Sporobolomyces rosues, S. odorus, Kluyveromyces veronae, Aureobasidium pollulans, Bacillus thuringiensis, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and the like.

Illustrative prokaryotes, both Gram-negative and gram-positive, include

Enterobacteriaceae, such as Escherichia, Erwinia, Shigella, Salmonella, and Proteus; Bacillaceae; Rhizobiceae, such as Rhizobium; Spirillaceae, such as photobacterium, Zymomonas, Serratia, Aeromonas, Vibrio, Desulfovibrio, Spirillum; Lactobacillaceae; Pseudomonadaceae, such as Pseudomonas and Acetobacter; Azotobacteraceae and Nitrobacteraceae. Fungi include Phycomycetes and Ascomycetes, e.g., yeast, such as Saccharomyces and Schizosaccharomyces; and Basidiomycetes yeast, such as Rhodotorula, Aureobasidium, Sporobolomyces, and the like.

Genes encoding pesticidal proteins can be introduced by means of electrotransformation, PEG induced transformation, heat shock, transduction, conjugation, and the like. Specifically, genes encoding the pesticidal proteins can be cloned into a shuttle vector, for example, pHT3101 (Lerecius et al. (1989) FEMS Microbiol. Letts. 60: 211-218. The shuttle vector pHT3101 containing the coding sequence for the particular pesticidal protein gene can, for example, be transformed into the root-colonizing Bacillus by means of electroporation (Lerecius et al. (1989) FEMS Microbiol. Letts. 60: 211-218).

Expression systems can be designed so that pesticidal proteins are secreted outside the cytoplasm of gram-negative bacteria by fusing an appropriate signal peptide to the amino-terminal end of the pesticidal protein. Signal peptides recognized by E. coli include the OmpA protein (Ghrayeb et al. (1984) EMBO J, 3: 2437-2442).

Pesticidal proteins and active variants thereof can be fermented in a bacterial host and the resulting bacteria processed and used as a microbial spray in the same manner that Bacillus thuringiensis strains have been used as insecticidal sprays. In the case of a pesticidal protein(s) that is secreted from Bacillus, the secretion signal is removed or mutated using procedures known in the art. Such mutations and/or deletions prevent secretion of the pesticidal protein(s) into the growth medium during the fermentation process. The pesticidal proteins are retained within the cell, and the cells are then processed to yield the encapsulated pesticidal proteins.

Alternatively, the pesticidal proteins are produced by introducing heterologous genes into a cellular host. Expression of the heterologous gene results, directly or indirectly, in the intracellular production and maintenance of the pesticide. These cells are then treated under conditions that prolong the activity of the toxin produced in the cell when the cell is applied to the environment of target pest(s). The resulting product retains the toxicity of the toxin. These naturally encapsulated pesticidal proteins may then be formulated in accordance with conventional techniques for application to the environment hosting a target pest, e.g., soil, water, and foliage of plants. See, for example U.S. Pat. No. 6,468,523 and U.S. Publication No. 20050138685, and the references cited therein. In the present invention, a transformed microorganism (which includes whole organisms, cells, spore(s), pesticidal protein(s), pesticidal component(s), pest-impacting component(s), mutant(s), living or dead cells and cell components, including mixtures of living and dead cells and cell components, and including broken cells and cell components) or an isolated pesticidal protein can be formulated with an acceptable carrier into a pesticidal or agricultural composition(s) that is, for example, a suspension, a solution, an emulsion, a dusting powder, a dispersible granule, a wettable powder, and an emulsifiable concentrate, an aerosol, an impregnated granule, an adjuvant, a coatable paste, and also encapsulations in, for example, polymer substances.

Agricultural compositions may comprise a polypeptide, a recombinogenic polypeptide or a variant or fragment thereof, as disclosed herein. The agricultural composition disclosed herein may be applied to the environment of a plant or an area of cultivation, or applied to the plant, plant part, plant cell, or seed.

Such compositions disclosed above may be obtained by the addition of a surface-active agent, an inert carrier, a preservative, a humectant, a feeding stimulant, an attractant, an encapsulating agent, a binder, an emulsifier, a dye, a UV protectant, a buffer, a flow agent or fertilizers, micronutrient donors, or other preparations that influence plant growth. One or more agrochemicals including, but not limited to, herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, bactericides, nematicides, molluscicides, acaracides, plant growth regulators, harvest aids, and fertilizers, can be combined with carriers, surfactants or adjuvants customarily employed in the art of formulation or other components to facilitate product handling and application for particular target pests. Suitable carriers and adjuvants can be solid or liquid and correspond to the substances ordinarily employed in formulation technology, e.g., natural or regenerated mineral substances, solvents, dispersants, wetting agents, tackifiers, binders, or fertilizers. The active ingredients of the present invention are normally applied in the form of compositions and can be applied to the crop area, plant, or seed to be treated. For example, the compositions of the present invention may be applied to grain in preparation for or during storage in a grain bin or silo, etc. The compositions of the present invention may be applied simultaneously or in succession with other compounds. Methods of applying an active ingredient of the present invention or an agrochemical composition of the present invention that contains at least one of the pesticidal proteins produced by the bacterial strains of the present invention include, but are not limited to, foliar application, seed coating, and soil application. The number of applications and the rate of application depend on the intensity of infestation by the corresponding pest.

Suitable surface-active agents include, but are not limited to, anionic compounds such as a carboxylate of, for example, a metal; a carboxylate of a long chain fatty acid; an N-acylsarcosinate; mono or di-esters of phosphoric acid with fatty alcohol ethoxylates or salts of such esters; fatty alcohol sulfates such as sodium dodecyl sulfate, sodium octadecyl sulfate or sodium cetyl sulfate; ethoxylated fatty alcohol sulfates; ethoxylated alkylphenol sulfates; lignin sulfonates; petroleum sulfonates; alkyl aryl sulfonates such as alkyl-benzene sulfonates or lower alkylnaphtalene sulfonates, e.g., butyl-naphthalene sulfonate; salts of sulfonated naphthalene-formaldehyde condensates; salts of sulfonated phenol-formaldehyde condensates; more complex sulfonates such as the amide sulfonates, e.g., the sulfonated condensation product of oleic acid and N-methyl taurine; or the dialkyl sulfosuccinates, e.g., the sodium sulfonate of dioctyl succinate. Non-ionic agents include condensation products of fatty acid esters, fatty alcohols, fatty acid amides or fatty-alkyl- or alkenyl-substituted phenols with ethylene oxide, fatty esters of polyhydric alcohol ethers, e.g., sorbitan fatty acid esters, condensation products of such esters with ethylene oxide, e.g., polyoxyethylene sorbitar fatty acid esters, block copolymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, acetylenic glycols such as 2,4,7,9-tetraethyl-5-decyn-4,7-diol, or ethoxylated acetylenic glycols. Examples of a cationic surface-active agent include, for instance, an aliphatic mono-, di-, or polyamine such as an acetate, naphthenate or oleate; or oxygen-containing amine such as an amine oxide of polyoxyethylene alkylamine; an amide-linked amine prepared by the condensation of a carboxylic acid with a di- or polyamine; or a quaternary ammonium salt.

Examples of inert materials include but are not limited to inorganic minerals such as kaolin, phyllosilicates, carbonates, sulfates, phosphates, or botanical materials such as cork, powdered corncobs, peanut hulls, rice hulls, and walnut shells.

The compositions of the present invention can be in a suitable form for direct application or as a concentrate of primary composition that requires dilution with a suitable quantity of water or other diluent before application. The pesticidal concentration will vary depending upon the nature of the particular formulation, specifically, whether it is a concentrate or to be used directly. The composition contains 1 to 98% of a solid or liquid inert carrier, and 0 to 50% or 0.1 to 50% of a surfactant. These compositions will be administered at the labeled rate for the commercial product, for example, about 0.01 lb-5.0 lb. per acre when in dry form and at about 0.01 pts.-10 pts. per acre when in liquid form.

In a further embodiment, the compositions, as well as the transformed microorganisms and pesticidal proteins, provided herein can be treated prior to formulation to prolong the pesticidal activity when applied to the environment of a target pest as long as the pretreatment is not deleterious to the pesticidal activity. Such treatment can be by chemical and/or physical means as long as the treatment does not deleteriously affect the properties of the composition(s). Examples of chemical reagents include but are not limited to halogenating agents; aldehydes such as formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde; anti-infectives, such as zephiran chloride; alcohols, such as isopropanol and ethanol; and histological fixatives, such as Bouin's fixative and Helly's fixative (see, for example, Humason (1967) Animal Tissue Techniques (W.H. Freeman and Co.).

In one aspect, pests may be killed or reduced in numbers in a given area by application of the pesticidal proteins of the invention to the area. Alternatively, the pesticidal proteins may be prophylactically applied to an environmental area to prevent infestation by a susceptible pest. Preferably the pest ingests, or is contacted with, a pesticidally-effective amount of the polypeptide. By “pesticidally-effective amount” is intended an amount of the pesticide that is able to bring about death to at least one pest, or to noticeably reduce pest growth, feeding, or normal physiological development. This amount will vary depending on such factors as, for example, the specific target pests to be controlled, the specific environment, location, plant, crop, or agricultural site to be treated, the environmental conditions, and the method, rate, concentration, stability, and quantity of application of the pesticidally-effective polypeptide composition. The formulations or compositions may also vary with respect to climatic conditions, environmental considerations, and/or frequency of application and/or severity of pest infestation.

The active ingredients are normally applied in the form of compositions and can be applied to the crop area, plant, or seed to be treated. Methods are therefore provided for providing to a plant, plant cell, seed, plant part or an area of cultivation, an effective amount of the agricultural composition comprising the polypeptide, recombinogenic polypeptide or an active variant or fragment thereof. By “effective amount” is intended an amount of a protein or composition sufficient to kill or control the pest or result in a noticeable reduction in pest growth, feeding, or normal physiological development. Such decreases in pest numbers, pest growth, pest feeding or pest normal development can comprise any statistically significant decrease, including, for example a decrease of about 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 85%, 90%, 95% or greater. For example, the compositions may be applied to grain in preparation for or during storage in a grain bin or silo, etc. The compositions may be applied simultaneously or in succession with other compounds. Methods of applying an active ingredient or an agrochemical composition comprising at least one of the polypeptides, recombinogenic polypeptides or variants or fragments thereof as disclosed herein, include but are not limited to, foliar application, seed coating, and soil application.

Methods for increasing plant yield are provided. The methods comprise providing a plant or plant cell expressing a polynucleotide encoding the pesticidal polypeptide sequence disclosed herein and growing the plant or a seed thereof in a field infested with (or susceptible to infestation by) a pest against which said polypeptide has pesticidal activity. In some embodiments, the polypeptide has pesticidal activity against a lepidopteran, coleopteran, dipteran, hemipteran, or nematode pest, and said field is infested with a lepidopteran, hemipteran, coleopteran, dipteran, or nematode pest. As defined herein, the “yield” of the plant refers to the quality and/or quantity of biomass produced by the plant. By “biomass” is intended any measured plant product. An increase in biomass production is any improvement in the yield of the measured plant product. Increasing plant yield has several commercial applications. For example, increasing plant leaf biomass may increase the yield of leafy vegetables for human or animal consumption. Additionally, increasing leaf biomass can be used to increase production of plant-derived pharmaceutical or industrial products. An increase in yield can comprise any statistically significant increase including, but not limited to, at least a 1% increase, at least a 3% increase, at least a 5% increase, at least a 10% increase, at least a 20% increase, at least a 30%, at least a 50%, at least a 70%, at least a 100% or a greater increase in yield compared to a plant not expressing the pesticidal sequence. In specific methods, plant yield is increased as a result of improved pest resistance of a plant expressing a pesticidal protein disclosed herein. Expression of the pesticidal protein results in a reduced ability of a pest to infest or feed.

The plants can also be treated with one or more chemical compositions, including one or more herbicide, insecticides, or fungicides.

28. A method of obtaining a polynucleotide that encodes an improved polypeptide comprising pesticidal activity is provided, wherein the improved polypeptide has at least one improved property over any one of SEQ ID NOS: 1-398 comprising:

(a) recombining a plurality of parental polynucleotides comprising SEQ ID NO: 1-398 or an active variant or fragment thereof to produce a library of recombinant polynucleotides encoding recombinant pesticidal polypeptides;

(b) screening the library to identify a recombinant polynucleotide that encodes an improved recombinant pesticidal polypeptide that has an enhanced property improved over the parental polynucleotide;

(c) recovering the recombinant polynucleotide that encodes the improved recombinant pesticidal polypeptide identified in (b); and,

(d) repeating steps (a), (b) and (c) using the recombinant polynucleotide recovered in step (c) as one of the plurality of parental polynucleotides in repeated step (a).

The following examples are offered by way of illustration and not by way of limitation.

EXPERIMENTAL Experiment 1: Discovery of Novel Genes by Sequencing and DNA Analysis

Microbial cultures were grown in liquid culture in standard laboratory media. Cultures were grown to saturation (16 to 24 hours) before DNA preparation. DNA was extracted from bacterial cells by detergent lysis, followed by binding to a silica matrix and washing with an ethanol buffer. Purified DNA was eluted from the silica matrix with a mildly alkaline aqueous buffer.

DNA for sequencing was tested for purity and concentration by spectrophotometry. Sequencing libraries were prepared using the Nextera XT library preparation kit according to the manufacturer's protocol. Sequence data was generated on a HiSeq 2000 according to the Illumina HiSeq 2000 System User Guide protocol.

Sequencing reads were assembled into draft genomes using the CLC Bio

Assembly Cell software package. Following assembly, gene calls were made by several methods and resulting gene sequences were interrogated to identify novel homologs of pesticidal genes. Novel genes were identified by BLAST, by domain composition, and by pairwise alignment versus a target set of pesticidal genes. A summary of such sequences is set forth in Table 1.

Genes identified in the homology search were amplified from bacterial DNA by PCR and cloned into bacterial expression vectors containing fused in-frame purification tags. Cloned genes were expressed in E. coli and purified by column chromatography. Purified proteins were assessed in insect diet bioassay studies to identify active proteins.

Insect diet bioassays were performed using a wheat germ and agar artificial diet to which purified protein were applied as a surface treatment. Insect larvae were applied to treated diet and monitored for mortality.

Insect diet bioassays were performed using a sucrose liquid diet contained in a membrane sachet to which purified protein was added. Insect nymphs were allowed to feed on the diet sachet and were monitored for mortality. Insects tested in bioassays included the Brown Stink Bug (BSB), Euschistus servus, and the Southern Green Stink Bug (SGSB), Nezara viridula.

Example 2. Heterologous Expression in E. coli

Each open reading frame set forth in Tables 3 and 4 was cloned into an E. coli expression vector containing a maltose binding protein (pMBP). The expression vector was transformed into BL21*RIPL. An LB culture supplemented with carbenicillin was inoculated with a single colony and grown overnight at 37° C. using 0.5% of the overnight culture, a fresh culture was inoculated and grown to logarithmic phase at 37° C. The culture was induced using 250 mM IPTG for 18 hours at 16° C. The cells were pelleted and resuspended in 10 mM Tris pH7.4 and 150 mM NaCl supplemented with protease inhibitors. The protein expression was evaluated by SDS-PAGE.

Example 3. Pesticidal Activity Against Coleopteran and Lepidoptera

Protein Expression: Each sequence set forth in Table 3 was expressed in E. coli as described in Example 2. 400 mL of LB was inoculated and grown to an OD600 of 0.6. The culture was induced with 0.25 mM IPTG overnight at 16° C. The cells were spun down and the cell pellet was resuspend in 5 mL of buffer. The resuspension was sonicated for 2 min on ice.

Bioassay: Fall army worm (FAW), corn ear worm (CEW), European corn borer (ECB) southwestern corn borer (SWCB) and diamond backed moth (DBM or Px) eggs were purchased from a commercial insectary (Benzon Research Inc., Carlisle, Pa.). The FAW, CEW, ECB and BCW eggs were incubated to the point that eclosion would occur within 12 hrs of the assay setup. SWCB and DBM were introduced to the assay as neonate larvae. Assays were carried out in 24-well trays containing multispecies lepidopteran diet (Southland Products Inc., Lake Village, Ark.). Samples of the sonicated lysate were applied to the surface of the diet (diet overlay) and allowed to evaporate and soak into the diet. For CEW, FAW, BCW, ECB and SWCB, a 125 μl of sonicated lysate was added to the diet surface and dried. For DBM, 50 μl of a 1:2 dilution of sonicated lysate was added to the diet surface. The bioassay plates were sealed with a plate sealing film vented with pin holes. The plates were incubated at 26° C. at 65% relative humidity (RH) on a 16:8 day:night cycle in a Percival for 5 days. The assays were assessed for level of mortality, growth inhibition and feeding inhibition.

For the western corn rootworm bioassay, the protein construct/lysate was evaluated in an insect bioassay by dispensing 60 μl volume on the top surface of diet in well/s of 24-well plate (Cellstar, 24-well, Greiner Bio One) and allowed to dry. Each well contained 500 μl diet (Marrone et al., 1985). Fifteen to twenty neonate larvae were introduced in each well using a fine tip paint brush and the plate was covered with membrane (Viewseal, Greiner Bio One). The bioassay was stored at ambient temperature and scored for mortality, and/or growth/feeding inhibition at day 4.

For Colorado Potato Beetle (CPB) a cork bore size No. 8 leaf disk was excised from potato leaf and was dipped in the protein construct/lysate until thoroughly wet and placed on top of filter disk (Millipore, glass fiber filter, 13 mm). 60 μl dH2O was added to each filter disk and placed in each well of 24-well plate (Cellstar, 24-well, Greiner Bio One). The leaf disk was allowed to dry and five to seven first instar larvae were introduced in each well using a fine tip paint brush. The plate was covered with membrane (Viewseal, Greiner Bio One) and small hole was punctured in each well of the membrane. The construct was evaluated with four replicates, and scored for mortality and leaf damage on day 3.

Table 3 provides a summary of pesticidal activity against coleopteran and lepidoptera of the various sequences. Table code: “−” indicates no activity seen; “+” indicates pesticidal activity; “NT” indicates not tested; “S” indicates stunt; “SS” indicates slight stunt; “LF” indicates low feeding, “M” indicates mortality.

Example 4. Pesticidal Activity Against Hemipteran

Protein Expression: Each of the sequences set forth in Table 4 was expressed in E. coli as described in Example 2. 400 mL of LB was inoculated and grown to an OD600 of 0.6. The culture was induced with 0.25 mM IPTG overnight at 16° C. The cells were spun down and the cell pellet was re-suspend in 5 mL of buffer. The resuspension was sonicated for 2 min on ice.

Second instar SGSB were obtained from a commercial insectary (Benzon Research Inc., Carlisle, Pa.). A 50% v/v ratio of sonicated lysate sample to 20% sucrose was employed in the bioassay. Stretched parafilm was used as a feeding membrane to expose the SGSB to the diet/sample mixture. The plates were incubated at 25° C.: 21° C., 16:8 day:night cycle at 65% RH for 5 days.

Mortality was scored for each sample. The results are set forth in Table 4. A dashed line indicates no mortality was detected. The proteins listed in table 4 showed 25% mortality or 50% mortality (as indicated) against southern green stinkbug (1 stinkbug out of 4 died). The negative controls (empty vector expressed binding domain and buffer only) both showed no mortality (0 stinkbugs out of 4).

Example 5. Transformation of Soybean

DNA constructs comprising each of SEQ ID NOs: 1-398 or active variants or fragments thereof operably linked to a promoter active in a plant are cloned into transformation vectors and introduced into Agrobacterium as described in PCT Application PCT/US2015/066702, filed Dec. 18, 2015, herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.

Four days prior to inoculation, several loops of Agrobacterium are streaked to a fresh plate of YEP* medium supplemented with the appropriate antibiotics** (spectinomycin, chloramphenicol and kanamycin). Bacteria are grown for two days in the dark at 28° C. After two days, several loops of bacteria are transferred to 3 ml of YEP liquid medium with antibiotics in a 125 ml Erlenmeyer flask. Flasks are placed on a rotary shaker at 250 RPM at 28° C. overnight. One day before inoculation, 2-3 ml of the overnight culture were transferred to 125 ml of YEP with antibiotics in a 500 ml Erlenmeyer flask. Flasks are placed on a rotary shaker at 250 RPM at 28° C. overnight.

Prior to inoculation, the OD of the bacterial culture is checked at OD 620. An OD of 0.8-1.0 indicates that the culture is in log phase. The culture is centrifuged at 4000 RPM for 10 minutes in Oakridge tubes. The supernatant is discarded and the pellet is resuspended in a volume of Soybean Infection Medium (SI) to achieve the desired OD. The cultures are held with periodic mixing until needed for inoculation.

Two or three days prior to inoculation, soybean seeds are surface sterilized using chlorine gas. In a fume hood, a petri dish with seeds is placed in a bell jar with the lid off. 1.75 ml of 12 N HCl is slowly added to 100 ml of bleach in a 250 ml Erlenmeyer flask inside the bell jar. The lid is immediately placed on top of the bell jar. Seeds are allowed to sterilize for 14-16 hours (overnight). The top is removed from the bell jar and the lid of the petri dish is replaced. The petri dish with the surface sterilized is then opened in a laminar flow for around 30 minutes to disperse any remaining chlorine gas.

Seeds are imbibed with either sterile DI water or soybean infection medium (SI) for 1-2 days. Twenty to 30 seeds are covered with liquid in a 100×25 mm petri dish and incubated in the dark at 24° C. After imbibition, non-germinating seeds are discarded.

Cotyledonary explants are processed on a sterile paper plate with sterile filter paper dampened using SI medium employing the methods of U.S. Pat. No. 7,473,822, herein incorporated by reference.

Typically, 16-20 cotyledons are inoculated per treatment. The SI medium used for holding the explants is discarded and replaced with 25 ml of Agrobacterium culture (OD 620=0.8-20). After all explants are submerged, the inoculation is carried out for 30 minutes with periodic swirling of the dish. After 30 minutes, the Agrobacterium culture is removed.

Co-cultivation plates are prepared by overlaying one piece of sterile paper onto Soybean Co-cultivation Medium (SCC). Without blotting, the inoculated cotyledons are cultured adaxial side down on the filter paper. Around 20 explants can be cultured on each plate. The plates are sealed with Parafilm and cultured at 24° C. and around 120 moles m-2s-1 (in a Percival incubator) for 4-5 days.

After co-cultivation, the cotyledons are washed 3 times in 25 ml of Soybean Wash Medium with 200 mg/l of cefotaxime and timentin. The cotyledons are blotted on sterile filter paper and then transferred to Soybean Shoot Induction Medium (SSI). The nodal end of the explant is depressed slightly into the medium with distal end kept above the surface at about 45 deg. No more than 10 explants are cultured on each plate. The plates are wrapped with Micropore tape and cultured in the Percival at 24° C. and around 120 μmoles m-2s-1.

The explants are transferred to fresh SSI medium after 14 days. Emerging shoots from the shoot apex and cotyledonary node are discarded. Shoot induction is continued for another 14 days under the same conditions.

After 4 weeks of shoot induction, the cotyledon is separated from the nodal end and a parallel cut is made underneath the area of shoot induction (shoot pad). The area of the parallel cut is placed on Soybean Shoot Elongation Medium (SSE) and the explants cultured in the Percival at 24° C. and around 120 moles m-2s-1. This step is repeated every two weeks for up to 8 weeks as long as shoots continue to elongate.

When shoots reach a length of 2-3 cm, they are transferred to Soybean Rooting Medium (SR) in a Plantcon vessel and incubated under the same conditions for 2 weeks or until roots reach a length of around 3-4 cm. After this, plants are transferred to soil.

Note, all media mentioned for soybean transformation are found in Paz et al. (2010) Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of soybean and recovery of transgenic soybean plants; Plant Transformation Facility of Iowa State University, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. (See, agron-www.agron.iastate.edu/ptf/protocol/Soybean.pdf.)

Example 6. Transformation of Maize

Maize ears are best collected 8-12 days after pollination. Embryos are isolated from the ears, and those embryos 0.8-1.5 mm in size are preferred for use in transformation. Embryos are plated scutellum side-up on a suitable incubation media, such as DN62A5S media (3.98 g/L N6 Salts; 1 mL/L (of 1000× Stock) N6 Vitamins; 800 mg/L L-Asparagine; 100 mg/L Myo-inositol; 1.4 g/L L-Proline; 100 mg/L Casamino acids; 50 g/L sucrose; 1 mL/L (of 1 mg/mL Stock) 2,4-D). However, media and salts other than DN62A5S are suitable and are known in the art. Embryos are incubated overnight at 25° C. in the dark. However, it is not necessary per se to incubate the embryos overnight.

The resulting explants are transferred to mesh squares (30-40 per plate), transferred onto osmotic media for about 30-45 minutes, and then transferred to a beaming plate (see, for example, PCT Publication No. WO/0138514 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,240,842). DNA constructs designed to express the GRG proteins of the present invention in plant cells are accelerated into plant tissue using an aerosol beam accelerator, using conditions essentially as described in PCT Publication No. WO/0138514. After beaming, embryos are incubated for about 30 min on osmotic media, and placed onto incubation media overnight at 25° C. in the dark. To avoid unduly damaging beamed explants, they are incubated for at least 24 hours prior to transfer to recovery media. Embryos are then spread onto recovery period media, for about 5 days, 25° C. in the dark, and then transferred to a selection media. Explants are incubated in selection media for up to eight weeks, depending on the nature and characteristics of the particular selection utilized. After the selection period, the resulting callus is transferred to embryo maturation media, until the formation of mature somatic embryos is observed. The resulting mature somatic embryos are then placed under low light, and the process of regeneration is initiated by methods known in the art. The resulting shoots are allowed to root on rooting media, and the resulting plants are transferred to nursery pots and propagated as transgenic plants.

Example 7. Pesticidal Activity Against Nematodes

Heterodera glycine's (Soybean Cyst Nematode) In Vitro Assay

Soybean Cyst Nematodes are dispensed into a 96 well assay plate with a total volume of 100 uls and 100 J2 per well. The protein of interest as set forth in any one of SEQ ID NOs: 1-398 is dispensed into the wells and held at room temperature for assessment. Finally, the 96 well plate containing the SCN J2 is analyzed for motility. Data is reported as % inhibition as compared to the controls. Hits are defined as greater or equal to 70% inhibition.

Heterodera glycine's (Soybean Cyst Nematode) On-Plant Assay

Soybean plants expressing one or more of SEQ ID NOs: 1-398 are generated as described elsewhere herein. A 3-week-old soybean cutting is inoculated with 5000 SCN eggs per plant. This infection is held for 70 days and then harvested for counting of SCN cyst that has developed on the plant. Data is reported as % inhibition as compared to the controls. Hits are defined as greater or equal to 90% inhibition.

Meloidogyne incognita (Root-Knot Nematode) In Vitro Assay

Root-Knot Nematodes are dispensed into a 96 well assay plate with a total volume of 100 uls and 100 J2 per well. The protein of interest comprising any one of SEQ ID NOs: 1-398 is dispensed into the wells and held at room temperature for assessment. Finally the 96 well plate containing the RKN J2 is analyzed for motility. Data is reported as % inhibition as compared to the controls. Hits are defined as greater or equal to 70% inhibition.

Meloidogyne incognita (Root-Knot Nematode) on Plant Assay

Soybean plants expressing one or more of SEQ ID NOs: 1-398 are generated as described elsewhere herein. A 3-week-old soybean is inoculated with 5000 RKN eggs per plant. This infection is held for 70 days and then harvested for counting of RKN eggs that have developed in the plant. Data is reported as % inhibition as compared to the controls. Hits are defined as greater or equal to 90% inhibition.

Example 8. Additional Assays for Pesticidal Activity

The various polypeptides set forth in SEQ ID NOs: 1-398 can be tested to act as a pesticide upon a pest in a number of ways. One such method is to perform a feeding assay. In such a feeding assay, one exposes the pest to a sample containing either compounds to be tested or control samples. Often this is performed by placing the material to be tested, or a suitable dilution of such material, onto a material that the pest will ingest, such as an artificial diet. The material to be tested may be composed of a liquid, solid, or slurry. The material to be tested may be placed upon the surface and then allowed to dry. Alternatively, the material to be tested may be mixed with a molten artificial diet, and then dispensed into the assay chamber. The assay chamber may be, for example, a cup, a dish, or a well of a microtiter plate.

Assays for sucking pests (for example aphids) may involve separating the test material from the insect by a partition, ideally a portion that can be pierced by the sucking mouth parts of the sucking insect, to allow ingestion of the test material. Often the test material is mixed with a feeding stimulant, such as sucrose, to promote ingestion of the test compound.

Other types of assays can include microinjection of the test material into the mouth, or gut of the pest, as well as development of transgenic plants, followed by test of the ability of the pest to feed upon the transgenic plant. Plant testing may involve isolation of the plant parts normally consumed, for example, small cages attached to a leaf, or isolation of entire plants in cages containing insects.

Other methods and approaches to assay pests are known in the art, and can be found, for example in Robertson and Preisler, eds. (1992) Pesticide bioassays with arthropods, CRC, Boca Raton, Fla. Alternatively, assays are commonly described in the journals Arthropod Management Tests and Journal of Economic Entomology or by discussion with members of the Entomological Society of America (ESA). Any one of SEQ ID NOS: 1-398 can be expressed and employed in an assay as set forth in Examples 3 and 4, herein.

All publications and patent applications mentioned in the specification are indicative of the level of skill of those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. All publications and patent applications are herein incorporated by reference to the same extent as if each individual publication or patent application was specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference.

Although the foregoing invention has been described in some detail by way of illustration and example for purposes of clarity of understanding, it will be obvious that certain changes and modifications may be practiced within the scope of the appended claims.
